House Rules And Gardens
My cousin is having trouble with our apartment complex as they have recently changed their policy on Gardens and plants. She's had trouble with them destroying her garden over the past few years she's lived here every year it seems to be an ongoing battle. I'm not sure if this is needed but we live in Connecticut. The notice she received is as follows: Dear residence we kindly remind everyone of the importance of following our communities house rules. We encourage residents to consider using pots for planting flowers and vegetables this way you can still enjoy your gardening while maintaining the uniform look of the property. We are actively working on installing garden beds and will keep you updated on the progress and invite you to participate once they are launched. The rules outlined in our lease agreement for gardening are as follows. "Section 30 Community appearance: All areas outside the apartment including the lawn area and stairs are to remain free of clutter and debris which would detract from the appearance of the community. Do not store items such as bicycles skateboards plant pots Etc on Entry walkways breezeways hall or stairs at any time. Flowers,shrubs, and vegetables shall be planted only in areas designated by the owner/agent." It seems unfair that they could just change rules at a moment's notice she recently grabbed a copy of her updated and it also says "Section 53 changes to House Rules: the owner/agent may make reasonable additions or changes to these rules, upon 30 days notice to the resident, and the residents agrees to abide by those additional changes the residents shall be bound by such rescission or change following a 30-day notice communicated to the resident." Doesn't this mean that we're entitled to know about the change before it goes through? Did they go about communicating this the proper way or do you think she has a reason to be upset I figured I'd bring this here because I didn't know what to tell her and I feel like she really needs legal advice that I can't provide.
